So since I am playing a hunter I realized that I need to get my own food and not just buy it from a salesperson because my pet needs a lot of food. So I took up the fishing skill and I have some questions:
1. At what level and where do you have to be to start fishing up lockboxes and chests?
2. Is the oily blackmouth a regant for some alchemay recipe (or any other recipe)?
I really don't see the point of a fish you can't eat.
3. Is there a fishing guide anywhere that you know about that will tell me where to go to fish certain fish, or to level up my fishing?
Thank you for your time.

Check out this site:
http://www.capsu.org/wow/
It is pretty much the be all, end all for fishing information.
Answers to your questions:
1. You can fish up chests from floating wreckage pools. If I remember correctly, these will first show up in level 20s coastal areas. They are random spawns of other pools (like Oily Blackmouth and Firefin Snapper).
2. Oily Blackmouth are needed to make Blackmouth oil , which is used in a couple Alchemy potions. (p.s. search is your friend) Oily Blackmouth are typically a decent seller on the AH, by the way.
3. For leveling info, check out the link above. A tip though...fishing can be leveled up anywhere. You don't need to go to progressively higher zones to skill up. You could sit in Stormwind or Undercity and fish the canals for all your skill points. There are books to get and a quest to do to progress to the next skill range (e.g., Expert Fishing - The Bass and You to go from 151-225), but you can skill up to the next cap anywhere you're currently able to fish.

Around 100 (or thereabouts) along coastlines, you will find pools of floating wreckage (also in some inland locations - I've seen them in Stonetalon (at the lake, and near the lumber camp). Use lures if your skill isn't high enough to fish a particular area.

Fish you'll want for alchemy: Oily Blackmouth, Firefin Snapper, and Stonescale Eel

Start with the FAQ.

It is a common misconception that you need to move areas to raise up your fishing skill. The truth, whether good or bad, is that your skill rises at the same rate anywhere; and that rate goes by the number of successful catches you make, not by the level of fish you catch!
Therefore it stands to reason that if you want to powerlevel your fishing, you can do it anywhere you can reliably catch fish! In fact, you will actually harm your fishing skill-up rate if you fish in an area where you consistently get "Your fish got away!" messages.

I used to fish without lures. I figured that I wanted to make money with fishing, not spend some more money. That means until about 225 fishing, I didn’t really get some of the more profitable fish that I was after, either for cooking or selling off.
However, this time around, at about 100 fishing, I used a +100 lure and my +10 fishing pole. A few more points and I was sitting at 225 modified fishing. That helped a lot because now I don’t need to spend that extra 125 points fishing up fish that I wouldn’t really use.
But the main benefit of doing this, is not for the stonescale eels or squid or other fish, but because I can fish up those floating wreckages that are in the level 40+ zones. The loot from those floating wreckages at that level are pretty nice, and along with the schools of firefin, blackmouth, and stonescale, I still can get the same profitable fish I would have been getting had I been fishing without lures in the lower level zones to start…just without the rainbow trout!

cool thanks guys. I looked at the FAQ titles and they seemed to be about other things. Next time I'll check there first anyway.
